Wonderful new song from the Guillemots! Mind you, I defy you to make it sound good on a single instrument - the song is deceptively simple :p Same four chords all the way through: (original key Bm Fm A E, starting note F#) I've tabbed at the place it best suits my female singing voice (Gm Dm F C). The jury is out as to whether Fyfe is singing "hunted" or "haunted". ==WALK THE RIVER== No Chord (starting note D; if you need a chord it's Dm) Fell in love with a boy Grew tired of it Fell in love with the world Yearned to fly from it Fell in love with myself Get off for the breeze Well get off for the weather Verse 1: just bass Gm Dm Walking slowly through space F C Pleased and terrified Gm Dm Backing out of the race F C Extra edified Gm Dm I want my sentences back F C Gm Can't remember their faces (Instr line): Dm F C Gm Can't remember their faces CHORUS: Gm Dm And I'm still here F C [and so on, same four chords] Holding on, and nothing, man Gm Dm Stand on my life F C Rewriting my delivery Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river Like a haunted animal (Gm Dm F C x2) VERSE 2: twinkly Everything was the life The summer holidays Christmastime in the drive Always out of rain Sit down and fall on a star Did someone mention the weather Did someone mention the weather CHORUS 2: add second voice harmony And I'm still here Holding on to nothing, man Stand on my life Here is my delivery Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river Like a haunted animal (Instrument break tune [original key]): F# C# Eb B. F# C# Eb B Eb F# F F# Ab A (not sure of the chords here. Please submit if you are :) Gm Dm It's an endless conversation F C With an endless voice, over endless fascination Over endless choice, and my heart's going out of missions on imagined motorways I never said I was right, I just hoped you thought it anyway Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river Like a haunted animal Walk the river You haunted animal Walk the river We have lost all animals (repeat chords to out...) (original key Bm Fm A E, starting note F#)
